main task:un-manipulated photos

ive decided to use this picture for my front cover of my music magazine

I'm not using this photo because parts of her head is out of the picture and most of her right arm is out of the picture and in this picture I think that she need to move more to the right so that I could get a better picture of her or could have move the carama so that i could get a full shot of her. Plus there were much more better pictures that i took for my double page spread.
I've choose to use this picture for my front covers because I w

as able to get this girl into the whole picture and because this was the best picture out of all of the front cover picture that i took.

I've decided to use this picture as my contents page because it a good picture and because I was able to get both of them into the picture and both of their heads and out of most of the photos that i had took for my content this was the best picture.

I'm using this picture because this picture is very good and all of the modal body is in the picture and her hair isn't sticking out of the picture and she is in the right position when I took this picture.

I decided not to use this picture because the girl on the left head is not fully in the picture and I wanted to include the whole person from her head and her body downwards so I think could have zoomed out so that i could get her whole head into the picture.

I haven't choosen this picture because half of her right arm in the picture and the other half of her is out of the picture plus i wanted to get her whole body into the picture including her arms and because not look straight at the camara.

Denotation

In this picture of a guy standing up and he is looking very confident because of the way he is standing - straight, pushing his chest out and the way he's holding the champaigne for example, one finger pointing down isnt usually how people hold champaigne - he's different. He also looks like very rich just by looking at what kind of clothes he is wearing. He is wearing a black suit with nice black shoes and a ring that looks very exspensive in one hand. He is holding a wine bottle and in the other hand is holding a glass cup with wine in it. Behind him there is only lots of balloons with a white background and the light is very bright. This makes it look as if he is having a party. As he is dressed smartly and the background and props are related to a party, it suggests that he's having a party because he is wealthy. When a lot of people read this they will think that that's where they want to be so they look at Rick Ross and see him as a role model because the image leads you to conclude that he is very successful.

This targets young people and old people so it's for people that are around the age of 16 - 35 because these are the kind of people that will listen to Rick Ross music also because people from these ages will listen to R and B. This magazine doesn't have much colour, the only colours are black and like white and the photo takes up one half of the page and the other side it is full with writing and the whole of the text is in black plus the masthead has been put on to the magazine twice and the other one is upside down. The way that he is posing is to show that he is the man that make all the money also this picture seem to show that he thinks that he is to hot and he is not looking straight into the camera and in this picture we can see the whole of Rick Ross's body.

Connotation: we see a picture of a black guy in a suit and he is holding a glass and a bottle in the other hand, behind him are lots of balloons behind him.

The suit that he is wearing seems to show that he is making a lot of money out of the music industry this shows that this kind of genre makes a lot of money and everything that is on him doesn't look cheap so the glasses, glass, suit, bottle of wine and shoes all look very expensive.

preliminary task: front cover textual analysis

denotation: in this picture I can see a adult wearing a suit and wearing trainers also his hands are in his pockets

connotion: they are just trying to give the impression that university will be very serious but student should have time so they can relax.

In this poster for university places they are trying to come down on to the same level as these young students that are about to start university. The poster is full of light colours maybe to show that students at the university have a bright future and the text looks like it should be in one of those young peoples magazines. The title is pink to show that maybe this university is going to be fun because when people see the colour pink of a university poster they wouldn't take that place seriously because pink is more of a girls colour and will really only attract the girls attention but not the guys. Plus they try and attract people to see more about fashion on 40 dollars, we can tell that this magazine is from USA.

Anchorage: in this picture this guy means business and he looking to take his work seriously maybe to tell the students to take there work seriuosly too so that they don't fail the course.

This guy seem very relaxed also it seem like that the new students can be themself with no parents to be telling them what to do so they can be free in this university and get to know other people and they really want to catch the the attaention of student that are about to finsh college and for each title they have something about in more detail and all the text have different colours

denotation: we can see that this man here is in a tomb and he has a whip in his hand and he also has a gun on him and he is standing in front of fire.

connotation: we can clearly see that this poster shows that this man is going into the tomb looking for something important. the use of fire suggests danger as well as there is a skull in the flames.

In this film there is going to be a lot of fighting because he has a gun and a whip on him and nobody carries around a gun for fun - the gun is for protection. this poster shows the light and darkness this represents both sides of good and evil. indiana jones look like a hero in this poster and he also looks like he not in the mood for playing games plus he looks really tough. the skull in the background image links back to the title of the film. the way indiana jones stand in the poster shows that he is a very confident guy and he doesnt show any sign of fear and this picture show that indiana is kind of a old fashion guy because the clothes he wears and the whip. In this picture indiana means business - he looks like he going to do what ever it takes to get his hands on what he wants. when you look at the poster you know that there going to be a lot of action and he looks like he is going somewhere where its very hot because the kind of clothes that he is wearing. It also looks like he is going to go to hell and back just for a artifact and I know he is going to get his hands dirty both physical and mentally as the text is the same colour as the fire. This poster also tells us that we are going back and learning the history of the skull and of the tomb because they have writing that looks very old.

induction: re-creation of a movie magazine front cover

I found this task really hard because this is the first time I’ve ever used Photoshop I also found it a bit confusing because there is lot of options that you can choose from and its not like Word where you can edit and undo any mistake you make. I spent most of time mainly using the text box but slowly as the time went on I started to get the hang of it. There was one problem with my magazine - I didn’t have enough space to put every single thing in. I also struggled to find out how to put the title on so that some of the letters are covered by his head. For a while I was trying to find out how to change the colour of the word so I just started playing around with Photoshop and in the end I learned how use Photoshop a bit. I didn’t really use any of the other tools on Photoshop because I was a bit scared of messing up the magazine, also I feel that I could have made my magazine a bit better.
